Major Additions - DownloadsII

There's a vB4 version of this mod available: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=231427

DownloadsII

DownloadsII is a download database that integrates into vBulletin. It allows you to upload files, add images to them, create categories, link to external files - and more. It is very flexible and has many options.

Because a lot of people keep on asking this:
This mod works with any version of vBulletin 3.7.x and 3.8.x!

It's also coded 100% XHTML 1.0 Transitional valid, just like vBulletin itself.



Instructions & Support

You can find an installation manual in the zip package (Readme-Install.txt).

We try to answer most questions asked in this thread. Please don't send any pm's if we don't ask for them, as we said we try to give a high level of support in this thread. Don't forget to click the install link, so you will receive important update notifications.

Screenshots & Live demo

At the bottom of this post, you can find 6 screenshots of the front-end and back-end (AdminCP part) of the DownloadsII software. You can see the newest version in action at the Minatica.be Downloads (Dutch).

Changelog (version 5.1.2)

Jelle

• Backported CSRF security fix from the vB 4 release
• Added permission check for Update Counters
• Fixed PHP warnings when running PHP 5.3
• Removed the imagecreatefrombmp() function. It doesn't exist.
• Added permission check for rating submissions

You can find all the changelogs of this and older versions here.

Help!!! I can't upload large files??

This is probably the second most asked question. Have a look at this post for the solution.

It doesn't work with GARS?!

If you also use the latest version of GARS, you will get the "Fields marked in RED must be filled in!" error when uploading a file. I provided a fix here on the GARS forums.

Addons

We are offering 3 addons for this mod at the moment (have a look at the bottom of this post for them). DownloadsII contains 5 hook locations for the vBulletin plugin systems, so you can add extra functionality without file edits.

Notes

• ecDownloads Buddy is NOT compatible with this version. If you are using the Buddy, you should UNINSTALL it before installing DownloadsII ver 5.x.x. The Buddy's features are now integrated into DownloadsII.
• DownloadsII is a direct derivative work from Ron1n's ecDownloads.

Addons

• DownloadsII ver 5.0 vbAdvanced Add-On
• DownloadsII PM moderation notification
• DownloadsII Create New Thread Add-On
• DownloadsII Simple RSS Feed Add-On
• DownloadsII[Add-On] - Upload Rules

Ah oke, I thought it had a different look before. I must have been mistaken.

The category id info between brackets is only shown to users with "Can edit all files" permissions.

Thanks, my worry's are gone then, I thought all users could see that.

But... what's the benefit of displaying the category id to the users with the edit permissions?

Hello and thank you for this great hack!

I've just updated from the previous version and after uploading 'test' files and on the redirect I receive the following error:

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '<' in /home/XXXXX/XXXXX/forums/downloads.php(1179) : eval()'d code on line 1

The 'test' files upload just fine but would like to fix the error message.

Your help is appreciated. :up:

However, when I click on one of the categories and leave the main menu, this is what happens:

I guess VBulletin.org resized my image, so what I wrote is difficult to see. The red arrows are pointing at what I think is the problem. The red writing says: "take a look at the black line which the arrows are pointing at. could this be the problem?"

Any suggestions? Thanks in advance.

Is it possible that you modified some of the DownloadsII templates and/or the downloads.php file?

I tried changing the display tops on all pages to both yes and no, and neither worked. My friend uploaded it for me, but I doubt that he did. I'll ask him though.

The category tree was a requested feature once. I also don't use

Hmm, on line 1179 there's a hook location. Which DownloadsII add-ons are you using?

We released version 5.0.5, try upgrading to that version first. Also try the "Update counters" feature, maybe that helps.
Have you set any of the "Number of "xxx" to Display" settings to 0 or made a typo there?

You need to specify a folder to import (multiple) files from. For example /home/zetaf/public_html/forums/uploads/3x3_eyes/ if it exists.
For adding one file, you better use the Add button on the public pages of the downloads section.

Where is your import directory located and what are you putting for the directory in admincp -> downloads -> import?
